My LO is now 15 weeks old, he was 7 weeks early so we are looking at an adjusted age of around 8 weeks, his behaviour is really not any different to how it was when he was 5 weeks old which is when he came to stay here, he doesn't make eye contact, and he isn't socially smiling, physically he seems to be moving forwards but he seems almost oblivious to his surroundings, if you rattle a toy he never looks for it, if you click your fingers near his ear he show no response.
His parents report that he smiles at his mum, and I have seen him smile, but it was very short lasting and wasn't at anything or anyone but his Dad seems slightly delusional, as today he claimed he took 2 steps, and swears he said Mamma - where LO rarely makes a noise, occasionally he will coo.
Anyone got any experience/advice?
I have spoken to the children's nurse at the surgery, and have now spoke to his health visitor (she was on holiday hence speaking to the nurse) so she is going to come do a home visit next week, she have referred him to the GP and he is being seen there next week, and I have spoken to his social worker so everyone that should know does.
